Quinn Cook states his case for spot on Warriors playoff roster

Because it's only two games against two of the worst teams in the NBA, it's prudent to resist the temptation to fall in love with Quinn Cook. Putting up Stephen Curry numbers in consecutive games does not make one Stephen Curry. It's impossible, though, not to clearly understand why the Warriors have consistently expressed faith in Cook, the two-way point guard who has spent three years trying to make an NBA team.18 Mar @ 8PM

Cook, Green lead depleted Warriors past Suns 124-109

Even with Golden State's Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson on the sidelines, the Phoenix Suns couldn't beat the Warriors. Quinn Cook did his best Curry imitation, scoring 16 of his career-high 28 points in a dominant third quarter, and the severely depleted Warriors handed the Suns their eighth straight loss and 23rd in 25 games, 124-109 on Saturday night.18 Mar @ 7AM

Warriors' Durant out at least 2 weeks with fractured rib

Kevin Durant will miss at least two weeks with a fractured rib on his right side, joining fellow All-Stars Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson on the injury list for the defending champion Golden State Warriors. An MRI exam Friday for the NBA Finals MVP revealed the incomplete fracture, and the Warriors said Durant would be re-evaluated in two weeks. Durant said he got hit in the ribs at Minnesota last Sunday and initially thought it was just a bruise, but he was sore the next couple of days.18 Mar @ 7AM

Shorthanded Warriors pull away late to top Suns

Andre Iguodala had a three-point play and a 3-point basket to trigger a 16-2, third-quarter burst Saturday night that allowed the Golden State Warriors to turn a deficit into a lead en route to a 124-109 victory over the Phoenix Suns at Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix. Quinn Cook and Nick Young, replacing the injured Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, scored 28 and 20 points, respectively, helping the Warriors shake off a home loss to Sacramento on Friday night with just their second win in their last five games.18 Mar @ 6AM
